grahamc Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Saw this awhile ago, forgot to post it makes a lot of sense http://www.theonion.com/video/cias-facebook-program-dramatically-cut-agencys-cos,19753/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 That's giving the CIA far too much credit. There is no doubt that they will use it as a tool, and may even have some handy tools given to them by the facebook corp but there is no way they "invented" it to cut costs. If they invented it they wouldn't need to cut costs, look at what it's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 And the best way to hide something is plain sight Ever noticed how Facebook, youtube and google seem to know your particular choices and likes..... It's all big brother now, if I didn't work in technology I'd still be using a Nokia, turning off wireless devices & proclaiming the microwave is a devil! We are stuffed though, just look at Geo-tagging when you take photo's on your phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 ...and how very clever of them of them to hide the truth on a 'comedy' news site so that we'd think it was just a joke. Holy double bluffs, Batman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attero Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 If you haven't realised that this is on the Onion website, then you should hang your head in shame! facebook even download now the contacts off ur phone if u go to ur friend list and have a look on contacts it lists all ur names and number from ur phone and other people can see them as well That's all part of the deal with the Facebook app you have installed on your phone. I believe you can set the privacy settings to disallow this from happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamc Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 Onion site is brilliant and full of useful info!! Yes you can disable this this (same geotagging) however by the time you are aware that you have been opted-in auromatically, it's to late!! Just like iPhone and the tracking info not to mention the face recognition and auto tagging that Facebook is about to release! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
